[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go visit both and see what you think will work for your child. We are zoned for another ES in the Whitman cluster and decided it wasn't a good fit for one of our children so went the private school route. But now we are back in public for high school and are very pleased with it. [/quote] Since you've been to both, I think you should have a good idea. Which one is more rigorous in academics? Public or private? [/quote] There is a huge range in private schools and a huge range within a grade at a public school. So it's not a bright line answer. I think the public schools are very rigorous. In fact the reason many people want private schools at the elementary level is to have a more flexibility in the curriculum and more time for art, music and PE. At the high school level I think only 1 or 2 private high schools are as good as Whitman for smart high achieving kids. [/quote]
